The present invention provides an EGR cleaning station and method of use for efficiently cleaning EGR from soot and debris. The gas recirculation cleaning station is primarily comprised of: a cleaning tank; a water tank; a heating system; a pump; an inlet hose; an outlet hose; and, exterior housing. The EGR cleaning station isolates the EGR while mounted onto the internal combustion engine. The cleaning of the EGR occurs without the need to remove the EGR from the internal combustion engine.
